NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
708 UTC Tue Aug 6 2019

Tropical Weather Discussion for the eastern Pacific Ocean from
the Equator to 32N, east of 140W. The following information is
based on satellite imagery, weather observations, radar, and
meteorological analysis.

Based on 0600 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through
0840 UTC. 

...TROPICAL WAVES...

The axis of a tropical wave is near 90W, moving W at 10-15 kt. 
Convection is limited with this wave.

The axis of a tropical wave is near 108W, moving W around 15 kt.
Convection is limited with this wave.

The axis of a tropical wave is near 125W, moving W around 10 kt.
Scattered moderate and isolated strong convection is noted from 
10N to 15N between 122W and 126W.

...INTERTROPICAL CONVERGENCE ZONE/MONSOON TROUGH...

The monsoon trough extends from 08N78W to 08N82W to 10N89W to
09N94W to 11N105W to 10N112W to 13N124W to 09N140W. Scattered
moderate isolated strong convection was noted from 04N to 08N E
of 82W. Scattered moderate isolated strong convection was noted
within 150 NM S of the monsoon trough between 93W and 98W.
Scattered moderate isolated strong convection was noted within
150 NM N of the monsoon trough between 98W and 101W. Scattered
moderate convection was noted within 150 NM S of the monsoon
trough between 111W and 120W. Scattered moderate convection was 
noted within 150 NM S of the monsoon trough between 128W and 
132W. 

OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF MEXICO...

A high pressure ridge prevails across the forecast waters west 
of the Baja California peninsula, producing gentle to moderate NW
flow over the adjacent offshore waters. This ridge will prevail 
across the waters through the week and into the upcoming weekend,
with little change in wind and sea conditions. Southerly swell 
will continue impacting the waters south of Cabo San Lazaro while
gradually subsiding through mid week. Another set of long period
southerly swell will reach the southern waters later this week, 
but combined seas are expected to remain less than 8 ft through 
the forecast period.

OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF CENTRAL AMERICA, COLOMBIA, AND 
WITHIN 750 NM OF ECUADOR...

Gentle to moderate S to SW winds south of the monsoon trough 
will increase to moderate to fresh through Thu. Moderate to 
locally fresh NE to E winds in the Gulf of Papagayo region north
of the monsoon trough will diminish today. A fresh set of long 
period southerly swell will move into the southern waters later 
this week. This will build seas greater than 8 ft between the 
coast of Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands Fri through the 
upcoming weekend.

REMAINDER OF THE AREA...

The remnant low of Gil is centered near 14.5N132W. Associated 
winds have diminished to 20 kt or less, and seas have subsided
below 8 ft. 

Elsewhere, high pressure prevails across the forecast waters 
north of 20N. Moderate to locally fresh NE winds prevail within 
the enhanced gradient between this ridge and the remnants of Gil.
Otherwise, gentle to moderate winds continue across the high seas
domain. Southerly swell remains across much of the region east of
125W. Seas of 8-9 ft prevail from 02N to 09N between 93W and 
110W. Another set of long period southerly swell will propagate 
across the equator by mid week and spread northward across the 
area into the upcoming weekend.
